In its continuing support in promoting good nutrition in Northern Mindnao, the Regional Development Council X approved for adoption the Nutritional Guidelines for Muslim Filipinos (NGMF) during its 105th Full Council Meeting held last August 20 at the Mindanao Civic Center Hotel, Tubod, Lanao del Norte. The adoption was led by RDC X Chairperson Governor Khalid Q. Dimaporo with Mayor Nelieta Q. Noval presenting the agenda. Along with the NGMF, the Committee also approved the promotion of 10 Kumainments and Pinggang Pinoy as part of the IEC and advocacy of the 2012 Revised Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos to lend greater support and wider dissemination in the region.
Similar to the RDC adoption of the 2012 Revised NGF with its Visayan translation (through Resolution No. 41 s. 2014), the newly adopted 10 Kumainments was translated into Visayan for easier message recall and retention.
Prior to the RDC meeting, the ceremonial turn-over of check for Complementary Food in Tubod, Lanao del Norte was held with DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo personally handing over the dummy check to Gov. Khalid Q. Dimaporo and Tubod Mayor Nelieta Q. Noval. The DOST support amounts to more than ?1.5M. mdmn
